Een winter in Parijs
Paras is een jong racepaard dat ten westen van Parijs woont. Op een middag duwt ze haar staldeur open en dwaalt ze nieuwsgierig naar het duizelingwekkende Parijs. Ze is verblind en verbijsterd door de geluiden en geuren om haar heen, maar ze is niet bang. Al snel ontmoet ze een Duitse hond, die weet hoe hij zich moet redden zonder de aandacht van achterdochtige Parijzenaars te trekken, twee onstuimige eenden en een eigenzinnige kraai. Ze geniet van het vrije leven met haar nieuwe vrienden in de parken van de stad. Alles verandert wanneer Paras een jongen ontmoet, Étienne. Terwijl het koude kerstweer nadert, bloeit er een onwaarschijnlijke vriendschap op. Maar hoelang kan een kleine jongen een weggelopen paard in Parijs verborgen houden?

Barn Blind
‘Smiley’s achievement is to communiate so successfully the failure of communication. She has anatomised a network of relationships, focusing with almost impossible subtlety on the gaps between people.’Lesley Glaister, The Times ‘Entirely gripping… This book is so alive in its detail that you can practically smell the tack and the straw and hear the animals shifting in their stalls. Jane Smiley’s unobtrusive prose is very good at evoking the bleakness of the heart, but it can also illuminate moments almost beyond articulacy.’Anita Mason, Independent on Sunday

A Thousand Acres (Film)
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.A Thousand Acres (1997) is an American motion picture drama directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse, and starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Jessica Lange, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Robards. It is an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Jane Smiley, which itself is a reworking of William Shakespeare's King Lear. The character of Larry Cook corresponds to the title character of that play, while the characters of Ginny, Rose and Caroline represent Lear's daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. The dramatic catalyst in both works is the division of the father's estate among his three offspring, causing bitter rivalry and ultimately leading to tragedy.
